Phat Phunktion – Well Run Dry
A few weeks ago I was downloading music files to play on breaks at my bands gigs. (I know that’s some kind of violation of law somewhere. But you do what you gotta do.) It has some really good songs on it across a spectrum of blues, funk, and soul. But when this song came on it made me turn my head, and put my beer down. An even more significant feat.
It was the awesome horn section, of course, that made me sit up and pay attention. But it really stuck out from all the rest.
Phat Phunktion is from Madison, WI and have been around for awhile. They really stand out to me because they are not just a tribute/cover band. This is original material with really good production, arranging, and very accomplished players. This is as close to TOP as I’ve heard.
It doesn’t look like they are currently active, there hasn’t been any new gigs listed on their website since Sep 2018. They do have some released albums and songs for download on their website. And you can visit their online store.
